Those b?!! Remember the rally about a year ago where there was this odd woman who tweeted about wanting to hug the President? And there was something that seemed really “off” about her and her tweets? Red Xs. IIRC, her twitter handle also had the RED Xs in it. 3 Red Xs, IIRC.

Why a Red ‘X’ Is the New Symbol of Conservative Twitter

(excerpt)

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey took the unusual step Wednesday of going on Sean Hannity’s radio show in an attempt to win back conservative Twitter users. On Twitter, pro-Trump Twitter users are increasingly registering their discontent with Dorsey by adding a red “X” emoji to their account names to claim they’re being “shadow-banned.”

Like the frog emoji before it—a reference to Pepe the Frog—the X has become a ubiquitous symbol in MAGA Twitter, while baffling everyone else.

Good catch and thank you bagster!

Ok, it’s looking like I’m wrong on this one.

Or... (I’m not trying to make excuses or make myself “right” here, I’m just trying to see all sides and prevent a possible dangerous assumption).

Maybe the derps have co-opted that symbol.

Example: If non-pedophiles started identifying themselves by wearing red MAGA hats and people accepted them as safe, don’t you think the pedos would start wearing MAGA hats, too?

This issue needs closer watching and more data.
